What happens

Solva Saal (English: Sixteenth Year) is a 1958 Hindi movie. Produced by Chandrakant C. Desai, the film is directed by Raj Khosla. Thematically similar to a 1953 American movie Roman Holiday and the Frank Capra's classic It Happened One Night (1934), the film stars Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman. The film's music is by Sachin Dev Burman and the lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri. This film also contains the song "Hai Apna Dil To Awaara" picturized on Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman in the train, sung by Hemant Kumar, with mouth organ by Rahul Dev Burman. Director Raj Khosla makes a cameo appearance in the movie, as a director in a film shooting sequence. Khosla and Waheeda had a loud argument on the set when the latter refused to wear a low neck outfit for a scene. Khosla who had a similar objection to Rehman's contract clause for her first movie C.I.D, stormed out of set. Later shooting was continued after intervention of producers. The two worked again in ‘Sunny’ (1984). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
